Weekend Photo Supplemental: Acres of Ambience

Not affiliated with Saturday’s SoundWalk, Long Beach resident Broken Appliances managed to make an afternoon of digging through musty books at Acres of Books all the more surreal with her forlorn sax postulating big, gloomy question marks, reaching dissonant top shelves sporadically for good measure. Vintage microphone feedback and damp, thick reverb added a fine layer of ancient book dust to the proceedings. As daylight waned she continued to wail from behind a pile of boxes in the very back of the store, amplifier poised at the service entrance door, singing to the empty lot outside.
